ATTACI-HIENT FOR PENCILS AND THE LIKE.

Application filed March 30, 1905, Serial No. 252,829. Renewed September 21, 1907.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED l/VILLIAMSON at Park City, in the county of Summit and State of Utah,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Pencils and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to attachments for pencils; and it contemplates the provision of a novel and advantageous attachment of the type adapted to serve as an eraser, to hold a pencil against casual displacement from the pocket, and to prevent the pencil rolling off an inclined desk or the like.

The invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a view illustrating a pencil equipped with my novel attachment; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the attachment removed.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both views of the drawmgs.

My novel attachment is molded or other- V wire formed in one piece of vulcanized rubber, and it comprises a cap-like body A adapted to receive and be held by frictional contact on one end of a pencil B, Fig. 1, and also adapted to serve as an eraser, and three arms C reaching laterally and at right angles from the base of the cap-like body A. The arms 0 are of V-shape in outline, and hence Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 393.915.

' the adjacent edges of each pair of arms are desk or the like and thereby effectually prevent rolling of the pencil oil the desk. Said their stiffness and. pointed ends, to engage the walls of a pocket and thereby preclude casual displacement of the pencil from the pocket.

It will be readily appreciated from the foregoing that notwithstanding the practical advantages which I have ascribed to my novel attachment the, said attachment is nary pencil erasers extant and is equally as light and neat in appearance.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A pencil attachment formed of one piece of vulcanized rubber and comprising a cap-like body of a size to rest and frictionally retain itself on one end of a pencil, and three equidistant, stiif arms, of V-shape in outline, reaching outwardly at right angles from the base of the cap-like body and having points at their outer ends; the adjacent edges of each pair of arms being arranged to rest at one time on a desk or the like.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
